From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we provide professional removals tailored to Pollards Hill homes. Our team works regularly near Pollards Hill Library and around South Lodge Avenue, where access and neighbour considerations matter. Expect clear communication, careful protection of lawns and borders, and a site left clean. We also offer emergency work when a tree becomes an immediate hazard.
Pollards Hill is a quiet residential area with excellent amenities and green spaces, and the housing stock often includes 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes. These properties can have mature boundary trees, tight side passages and shared access routes that require sectional dismantling rather than straight felling. We plan lifts, lowering and rigging to avoid damage to fences, sheds and conservatories. If you’re near Norbury, Mitcham or Streatham Vale, we can usually attend quickly.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, targets, and the safest method: tree felling, sectional dismantling, or emergency stabilisation. Stumps can be dealt with via stump grinding or full stump removal depending on your plans for replanting, paving or turf. All arisings are removed, and we can provide full site clearance for renovations or garden redesigns. Homeowners choose our tree removal contractors Pollards Hill area for tidy workmanship, insured operations and dependable follow-through.
Working in the London Borough of Merton often means narrow drives, parked cars and limited turning space for equipment. Around Pollards Hill Recreation Ground and SW16 streets, we plan loading, chipper placement and safe pedestrian management to keep disruption down. Ground conditions can vary from compacted lawns to softer borders, so we use boards and careful tracking to protect surfaces. If council constraints apply, we help you navigate them before any cutting starts.

Costs vary by height, spread, access and whether lifting or rigging is needed. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600, while medium trees commonly fall in the £600–£1,500 range. Large or complex dismantles near buildings can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£350 depending on diameter and depth. Waste removal and site clearance requirements also affect price.
Many small removals can be completed within half a day, while a medium sectional dismantle is often a full day. Larger trees, multiple stems or restricted access (common with maisonettes and narrow side passages) can take 1–2 days. Stump grinding is usually 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on proximity to structures, the need for lowering ropes, and whether you want extra services like full site clearance.
Often, you won’t need formal permission to remove a garden tree, but there are important exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which can require consent or prior notice. If you’re unsure, we can help check protections and advise on the correct steps before work begins. For emergency hazards, rules can differ, and evidence is important.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed landscaping elements we install or reinstate as part of the job (for example, re-laid turf areas, edging or repaired surfaces). For stump grinding, the warranty covers the stump being ground to the specified depth and area. It doesn’t cover new root suckers from neighbouring trees or future ground settlement outside the treated zone. We’ll confirm warranty scope in writing.
After stump grinding or stump removal, you can choose several finishes depending on how you want to use the space. Popular options include topsoil and turf, fresh planting (shrubs or a replacement tree), gravel or bark for low-maintenance beds, or preparing a solid base for paving or a shed. We’ll advise on drainage, root spread and soil depth so the new surface performs well and looks right for your garden.
